Stupid Mustang...

[reldapimp]

I clean it all the time, give it brand new aftermarket parts and all it does it give me more problems...

On my way to DE from NYC my ****ing Struct mount BOLT came the **** off...

My car looked like it lost the entire front suspension... After doing my little ghetto mod I got it back in somewhat decent condition... Got to my destination in DE and on the way home.... on I95 The ****ing THING COMES BACK OFF.... Wheel is looking basicly sideways lol....

I get off I95 somewhere in PA and just so happens there is a Autozone there... Good I get them to put a washer and the nut back on the strut so I can atleast get back to NYC....

Problem solved... So When I goto leave I get about 2 blocks away and noticed my battery guage is like at the bottom.... I pull over and check all connections and nothing seems to fix it.... BATTERY is dead now....

Call a tow truck for a jump start after I verify all connections are good... SAME GOD DAMM THING....

About 90 miles later and $400 + Tolls to get the car towed back to my house.. I use my multimeter and my god damm voltage at the alternator is at 7 volts...

(Too cold and Dark or I would of bought a cheap toolset and alternator and put it right there on the sidewalk)

And this all happens the DAY AFTER I take all my tools and equipment out the trunk....

PA Automotive 240 Amp Alternator..
Gonna have it tested tommorrow before I make my next move...

Sorry about your recent misfortune.

Ive had two 94 and or 95's that Ive taken to the track a lot and flogged the hell out of them and Ive never had any substantial problems.

*knock on wood*

reldapimp- the STRUT mount bolt came off the spindle??

Your car was clearly voicing it's complete aversion to NYC. Drive to nicer places, and it probably won't break so often.

that does suck but it will get better once you get all this little stuff sorted out. you'll get to a point where basically everything on the car is new again and you won't have to worry about it.

 

[reldapimp]

Yes the Strut nut bolt seemed to have untighted itself... Then the strut fell down having my wheel do the sideways lean....

Easy fix but ****ing annoying at the time... Gotta get a new strut mount kit...

Everything will be fixed by the end of next week.

The strut nut? You talking about the nut on top of the strut in the engine compartment, or one of the nuts holding the strut to the wheel? I cold see the wheel leaning sideways if you lost the top bolt. Those two bolts need to be FREAKING tight or they will come loose. I think the specs say about 150lbs-ft of torque.

LOL.

THIS is exactly why I'm glad I got out of the Jeep game (Just Empty Every Pocket...).

Plus, I don't know how the 'stangs are, but the Jeeps can hear you talking- say something mean to her and see if she starts

 

[reldapimp]

The top nut inside the engine comparment is the one that came loose.

 

[tstang21]

no offense but i dont think its the car. it probably might be how you put things together. i did things to my car and i havent yet run into any intial problems and its daily. if you know what you are doing, stangs can last forever and forget about selling it

The top nut inside the engine comparment is the one that came loose.

There should be a self-locking nut on there, if that nut is the original one it has obviously lost it's self-locking feature. Put a new self-locking nut on there and torque it to 55-92 Ft/lbs. (per Ford manual)
Good Luck.
